Hardware Nocturna fan for Wii replacement

[CowsRPog]

I’m looking to upgrade my Wii fan, as it’s getting very loud, and have found this Nocturna fan (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Noctua-NF-A4x10-5V-3-Pin-Premium/dp/B00NEMGCIA/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=WI8U3SW0UTCO&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1TJIHJsMwNxmBnvaOUBKbc62fn1mmb5WDla4gLJWLBfKnq2MuYftz66-KBjtn2Q3qLk-KbdG5FI_FgWqANnIesjq1iwIcR2DoPIrkOrhy5-DLtFeIZAjY7QjuuXHwJYXtsj-YPBO7slz-3PDZWZIB3AuBWUGtMgT4aU67DpTvAXu0KrjmUQym-K-FKFk7BcB1kcnjPue7_0fyG4UXq6JGw.J_9hS82zx0ulM8eY6Kkho6EH1bEKS2El83axhaSLtWM&dib_tag=se&keywords=noctua+40mm+5v&qid=1711974124&sprefix=nocturna+,aps,651&sr=8-2), however, it says it uses 0.05A, whereas according to this post (https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-fan.238844/) the Wii fan uses 0.03. Would it be safe to use the nocturna fan, and if not, what are some high quality silent Wii fan replacements? Sorry if I’m being a bit of an idiot, it’s my first time doing anything like this.

Amperage and voltage are fine within 20% more than the device utilizes. I believe it won't be a problem.

Are you sure it's your fan? I've had my Wii since 2008 and its fan doesn't make any noise.

I assume it is, because it also happens with VC games

Sounds like the thing may just be clogged with dust or the thermal compound needs replaced. Those things tend to run at great thermals.
